If you're wondering if blogging is addictive...

...it is. I say this as I have just received an email about my application for the student life blogger position at Conestoga College. I won't keep you in suspense, I have been accepted. My new blog begins January and will chronicle my student life. I'd like to think of as a college version of Are You There God, It's Me Margaret. This opportunity is great because I have always wanted to get involved with Conestoga College life but haven't had the schedule for it. Now, I have the opportunity to share my experiences with others through my new blog about student life.

If you're wondering if I'm feeling any better...

...I am. Although I am pushing the idea of straight promotions for the studio out of my mind, it is because I am focusing on my newest CTV pitch. Last year I did speak with the assginment editor at CTV about a story on how local residents are getting into the Christmas spirit. Particularly those at Impact Movement, as they start learning the traditional "Santa Baby" chair dance. I tried to get this story to work last year but the "Christmas card killer" struck and all the coverage was focused on the trial. I did however manage to get coverage of breakdancing in January, so it was not a total loss. The coverage is available on the studio's new media pages http://www.impactmovement.ca/inaction.php and http://www.impactmovement.ca/media.php. The In Action page covers all CTV coverage (we still have to upload footage from the clothing swap) and some homemade videos of some of the classes. The Media page covers written media. I, unfortunately, was only able to work on the Most magazine article. Hopefully I will be able to gather some written media interest in the studio by contacting the local papers at local colleges and universities.

If you're wondering what Murphy's law looks like

It's arranging a great promotion at a busy bar, on a major bar night. Then the host not saying much because he suffered severe loss of blood (see above pic). Then he had to go to the hospital for stitches. He's ok and in the end I cared more about the man than the promo but I'm still sad that things didn't go as smoothly as I'd dreamed. So now a little bit discouraged I return to the drawing board.
